Fashion photography made its first appearance in French magazines such as La mode practique. In 1909, Condé Nast took over Vogue magazine and fashion photography became a true art form.

Vogue photographers placed special emphasis on staging the shots, a process first developed by Baron Adolf de Meyer, who shot his models in natural environments and poses.

Here we look back at some of the most iconic Vogue photographs, including Edward Steinchen's classic photo of actress Mary Heberden, portraits of Cher and model Marisa Berenson.
